Went to Poached on a random weekday and the atmosphere was very chill. We ordered the NY Steaks and Eggs, Short Rib Omelette, Blueberry Lemon Ricotta Pancakes, and the Dolce de Leche Latte.
Was my first time trying and the service was great with the staff offering suggestion and potential modifications (less sweet on the latte, etc.) Food arrived rather quick and was hot. The NY Steak and Eggs and Blueberry Lemon Ricotta Pancakes were delicious, however the Short Rib Omelette left a bit to be desired. I understand eggs are expensive right now, but the taste of carton eggs was not what I was expecting.
Additionally, I decided to have a bit of ketchup with my hashbrowns and was surprised, yet thankful, when I opened the bottle away from the table and soapy water spilled out. The bottle must've fallen in a sink, but clearly wasn't checked. Overall, not the best first impression, but I'd like to give it another try sometime in the future.

This is the only breakfast place in town where I don't get sick. I don't know why but I always get sick whenever I go to other breakfast places. And their food is good!!!!! I wish I had taken more photos. Their service is great! This place has become too popular, my family goes here right at 7 AM so that we don't have to wait in line. Their coffee is also good. My picky kids and mom-in-law also approved this place. Highly recommend!

This place was so good, super busy but got our food quickly. Bf and I cleaned our plates off. Good to eat outside (has heaters) when inside is packed.

Pretty solid spot.
Liked the breakfast burrito.
Short rib omelette was fine but not my favorite in terms of flavor and consistency.
Pancakes were good.

this is an incredible breakfast brunch spot in Irvine. they are always busy for a reason. i am not into eating out for breakfast or brunch but this place always hits the spot with the quality of food and the taste of each item. i love their short rib egg benedict and chilaquiles.
